Hyrule Warriors Battles Its Way to Number 3 in UK Chart Début

Probably about what was expected. I'd have been shocked if it had beaten Destiny and Infinity, but also pretty surprised if it was any lower with so few games released recently. Sad about Curtain Call being so low though.

I wonder what excuse Disney infinity 2.0 has for flopping??? Cause I can't think of a thing. 3rd place for Hyrule Warriors... Well that happened, I wonder how much of that is to do with Zelda & friends?

Love Hyrule Warriors well deserved 3rd place. Of cause its trading off zelda but hey that was the point right?

Hyrule Warriors developed by Omega Force?

At least for me Curtain Call is the perfect game for downloading since it is the kind of thing you want to randomly play along with a regular game.
I expect the digital sales to be pretty decent.

Surprised hyrule warriors managed number 3. It is actually a really fun game, definitely not Zelda, but a lot of stuff Zelda fans will enjoy. I love playing as Shiek..

Destiny just has to wait for Smash Bros, and then pick up its teeth...

I'm a bit sad for Curtain Call.

That is all.

That's a pretty good showing for Hyrule Warriors, especially since it's the UK we're talking about here.

I'm curious to see how it does in the US. Also, Bayonetta 2 in Japan this week should be interesting.

Oddly though never seen a dynasty warriors game in the top 10 in the U.K
Goes to show how shallow minded people are and only look at a game for a franchise that's well known.
That being said I love the game, and also loved the samurai warriors games on wii and 3DS

If anyone's wondering why Pokemon and Frozen are in the charts, it's because of recent deals on those games.
Decent week for Nintendo titles.

@ThomasBW84 : Exactly. The game would'nt reach top 20 without Zelda theme.
Loads of people who never played any of the 10 first Dynasty Warriors games, did buy this one only because of Zelda.

@ricklongo
Oh oh you don't know about Bayonetta 2

@Hero-of-WiiU
Is it that obvious? Yes.

@ThomasBW84 Not exactly previous Dynasty Warriors charted in the top 10. Such as Dynasty Warriors 8, charted 2 places behind Hyrule Warriors.

@Punished_Boss Could be due to the recent details about Wii U version having the lowest Resolution...IDK

Dont recall ever seeing a warriors game chart so high. I hope it sells enough for a sequel in anycase as im loving it.

Of Course, Hyrule Warriors would be that high up on the chart, I've have been looking everywhere for the game in stores but they are all sold out. Dang it, I what to play as Shiek, Lana and Ganondorf with his dual blades.
PS: I would buy online, but I got a voucher that I can use only in store. Nintendo bring out more copies.

On the subject of Curtain Call, anyone here ordered the Collector's Edition from the Square Enix store and yet to receive it?

Best couch co op game on Wii U imo. I have enjoyed it so much. I would like a sequel

I guess I'm lucky I preordered and bought it on Saturday, all my local stores that sell games are completely out of stock for Hyrule Warriors (last 2 copies in my local GAME sold out this morning). The only thing that really annoys me is that all preorder DLC codes from GAME comes up "This download code has already been used"

EDIT: If your code doesn't work, tweet at @GAMEdigital and they'll give you a code which works.

I pre-ordered and bought a digital code from GAME, does that count as a retail sale?

That should be what ? 15k ? Pretty good, i just want it to have legs

@TJGamer Ganondorf is grate fun lol totally overpowerd - im Lucky I pre-ordred the Scarf edition on the Nintendo shop just befor it went out of stock there (thay seam to remove things if there out of stock so i panicked lol) as it was Sold out in GAME lol.

If HW ends up selling well enough for another crossover game, what would you most want it to be:
Lylat Warriors
Mario Warriors
Metroid Warriors
Megaman Warriors

@Punished_Boss - "I wonder what excuse Disney infinity 2.0 has for flopping??? Cause I can't think of a thing."

Is that sarcasm? I didn't see a or /s Or are you really saying it's a flop for coming in 2nd behind Destiny? Or just the last place Wii U version is a flop (which I just blame on install base)? The game sold 32% more than the first game did, I think most companies would consider that a success. no?

"The new Interactive Toys title is also 32% up on the week 1 performance of the original ‘Disney Infinity',"

As for HW, 3rd place for a Wii U game in the UK, behind Destiny on every platform for adults and DI:2.0 on every platform for kids I'ld say is a major success. Must have been a pretty high % of Wii U owners buying it.

I don't know about the US version, I can't find it advertised anywhere, so that's not promising.

@Nintenjoe64 - Dragon Quest Warriors (ie DQ:Hereos). If HW sells well enough maybe we can get it too?

I've got my game pre-ordered and the LE guide. I took the day from work off to plow through this title. I'm curious to see what all is in the game. It's really hard to stay away from any more spoilers. Cant go on youtube at all. Almost everybody I sub to is covering the game.

@Nintenjoe64 Fire Emblem or Advance Wars would work well for a crossover I think. Perhaps take Pokemon Conquest to the next level?

@rjejr Sarcasm? Me? Never! Nah, I'm just referencing the popular obligatory comments made elsewhere on why third party games fail on Wii U. With the Wii U of DI 2.0 is frequently advertised here in the UK, so I'm really at a loss.

Awwww I wanted Disney Infinity 2.0 to be number one
It's the first game this year that hasn't disappointed me at all and I haven't been able to stop playing. My remaining 5 figures have today and I'm just about to go pick them up.

Curtain Call maybe I will get a bit of it on iOS later (Only the songs I am interested in though.)

So Fantasy Life isn't considered by you as a significant release? That seems rather cruel, Nintendo Life.

@Nintenjoe64 Fire Emblem warriors is the only one that makes any real sense. It would be perfect, since Fire Emblem is already based around taking on armies that are larger then your own. Just replace the SRPG gameplay with the DW gameplay.

Make characters from each of the classes playable or at least the major ones like Lords, Knights, Paladians, Mages, Archers, Fighters that kinda thing. An extra wrinkle is that they can promote into the advanced version of their classes like in the Fire Emblem games.

Fire Emblem has tons of characters to pick from, tons of content across 13 games to draw from, and a perfect setup already since the series is about armies fighting each other.

As a Fire Emblem fan, I would to see a game like this.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Fire Emblem game co-developed with Tecmo Koei using the beautiful armor and character design aesthetics from the mainstream Warriors franchise, but with gameplay and battlefield design by Intelligent Systems...that would be a dream game!

@xVAKAR1ANx : If there is no sequel, just get any Dynasty Warriors game.
Actually there was a D.W. game on Wii U at launch too.

@BLPs : I believe its fun. Since it was sold out everywhere this weekend, i don't get the pre-order deal. Means i will wait a little before i buy it. Currently finishing other Wii U games.

@Ryu_Niiyama @Caryslan @Nintenjoe64
This is the best idea ever, Fire Emblem Musou or Dragon Quest Warriors, That's Tecmo-> Nintendo-> Intelligent Systems or SquareEnix->Tecmo, I really hope Nintendo read your post... This would be brilliant games.

Glad for Hyrule Warriors, it is far more engaging and fun than I was expecting. The co-op is great once you quickly get over the down rez.

Destiny and Infinity 2.0 won't stay there for very long

@Nintenjoe64 Super Smash warriors, sounds like a game I'd enjoy!

Hyrule Warriors actually makes Warriors Orochi 3 and DW8 feel old. If there was Empires mode DLC for this game it would be almost perfect.

Eternal Darkness Warriors would work.

Not bad.

Good! Have been playing HW the last couple of days, it's excellent.

Just plain old "Eternal Darkess 2" would work even better. "Eternal Darkness HD" would be fine by me, as well.

@Kosmo Ha ha yeah i agree

@FX102A

I did pre-order but not arrived yet (haven't check today's mail tho). I checked website on Thursday and it said delivered. I actually don't even know where the game is coming from. I ordered HW LE from Amazon France and it said it won't be here until 30th.

@Finntendo did you ever get it

@PinkSpider

I did. It arrived on Mon 29th (the box was dusty, lol!) in perfect condition. I was surprised how big the scarf was, fluffy 'n all.
Some Finns got it already on Friday the 26th, but I guess it takes a day more to come here northern parts of the country
